Main were startled by three pistOl-shOts,
and IL was asccrtained chat X. l.. Cohen
had been shot and killed by Charles Sayler.
Cohen's body was removed TO the hotel
and an inquest held to-day. The evidence
goes TO show that Cohen had been ap'
preached by Sayler some days ago anil he
asked Cohen II he wanted to see him; that
he had received such message from him.
cohen told him he had 10 qllIrrel with
hin and Sayler left.
Last night Sayler was heard 10 say by
several Witnesses he intended 20 Mil Co
hcn lciOre morning. Later in the night
>aylor and three otLer boys were on Union
street, aud Cohen and Sandy Williams
came along. Williams testified that With
oul any prOyocation Sayler opened fire on
Cohen and shot HIM down. When the first
shot was fired Cohen and Sayler were about
ten feet apart, but advanced till the third
shot, when Cohen grabbed Sayler, and they
fell 10 the ground. IL is evident that the
lat shot struck Cohen, as the pistol was 50
near when fired that II set his clothes on fire.
Savler was locked up and subsequently, on
his statement. warrants were sworn ont Tor
the arrest Of Il. W. and Richard White,
who, be said, were with him at the time.
These boys were arrested, but bailed. The

diet: That X. l.. Cohen came TO his death
on tbc night OF June 81, 1887, from pistol
slot wound, said pistol hlyin. been fired

day. The Whites and Garner were tncn
ARE ,ted and taken before the justice, who
refused TO bail one OF the WHITES and Gar
neT, but bailcd Richard in the sun OF
$1,000. A writ Of hG6eGS corpus was then
sued cut before Judge Blackwell, but he
has not rendered his decision yet.

travelling public. Exactly what the trOu-
bic between him and Sayler was c lnnOt be
s,ccrtained, but there is said 10 be very
IIelty oman in the case.
The stfair haa caused much excitement
here. and the feeling agalnst Sayler Is very
